@dramitsarwal: #Victorian Government blocks push to investigate anti-#Indian and religious hate crimes, #Coalition accuses double standards The Allan Labor Government has been criticised for refusing to support a Parliamentary inquiry into anti-Indian, anti-Semitic, and anti-Islamic hate crimes, after voting against amendments proposed by the Liberals and Nationals. The debate was originally initiated by the Greens, who moved for an inquiry into hate crimes against the LGBTQIA+ community to be examined by the Parliamentary Legal and Social Issues Committee. #EvanMulholland, Shadow Minister for Multicultural and Multifaith Affairs, proposed amendments to expand the scope of the Greens’ motion to include multicultural, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic hate crimes. Labor voted down these amendments. Speaking in Parliament, Mr Mulholland said, “The Indian community in my electorate is regularly raising with me their concern about the rise in racism—both in the streets and online.” He also highlighted the emerging threat posed by artificial intelligence, saying, “With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, there is a whole new frontier of spiteful content that is being created to demonise the Indian community. It is easy to dismiss this as ‘AI slop’ when it is not your background or skin colour which is being attacked.”
